Flexible Electrode by Hydrographic Printing for Surface Electromyography Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Surface electromyography (sEMG) monitoring has recently inspired new applications in the field of patient diagnose, rehabilitation therapy, man-machine-interface and prosthesis control. However, conventional wet electrodes for sEMG recording cannot fully satisfy the requirements of these applications because they are based on rigid metals and conductive gels that cause signal quality attenuation, motion artifact and skin allergy. In this study, a novel flexible dry electrode is presented for sEMG monitoring. The electrode is fabricated by screen-printing a silver-eutectic gallium-indium system over a transfer tattoo paper, which is then hydrographically printed on 3D surface or human skin. Peano curve in open-network pattern is adopted to enhance the mechanics of the electrode. Hydrographi
